Kia was known for years as a maker of reliable and affordable - but unexciting - family cars. Things began to change in the mid-2000s when designers and engineers from other leading car brands were hired to revamp things. Now Kia is respected for its sharp design, quality feel and impressive technology, and that’s particularly true of all-electric Kias.
Key highlights of Kia
In focusing on improving the design of modern Kias, the brand could’ve easily fallen into a trap of offering style over substance. But engineering integrity remains, so if you lease an electric Kia you know you’re getting reliability, safety and impressive technology wrapped in an eye-catching package.
Kias are also a lot more fun to drive than they used to be, helped by the brand hiring the former engineering boss of BMW’s M performance division. Every electric Kia is quiet, comfortable and reassuring on the road.
Kia & EVs
Kia turned around its brand so rapidly that models from the early 2000s are now unrecognisable compared to today’s Kias. And with an established place in the electric car market Kia has won multiple awards, offering a range of cars that push the boundaries in terms of range, charging speed and in-car technology.
The Korean company is looking beyond the battery to save the environment, too. It uses a special Green Design System that ensures every part of the production process is as earth-friendly as possible. The finest details of the logistics system in the supply chain have been checked, and the vehicle recycling centre ensures as many components as possible from old cars are reused on new ones. Kia really does appear to be a company that cares.
Top Kia electric models
There’s an impressive range of electric vehicles to choose from when considering leasing a Kia.The Niro EV is a popular choice for EV leasing business users and families alike, offering excellent efficiency, a long range and a spacious, user-friendly cabin.

The pinnacle of Kia’s electric range is currently the EV6, however. With its striking design, class-leading charging speeds, roomy cabin and impressive performance, it’s won a host of awards around the world. Soon to arrive is the Kia EV9, a large seven-seat electric SUV that promises plenty.

With bold, futuristic styling, Kia’s EV6 SUV is instantly recognisable. The brand’s distinctive tiger face grille has been given a modern makeover, and with a flat floor for boost efficiency, Kia has created a car that both looks the part and delivers what the visuals promise. It accelerates nearly as quickly as it charges – few cars can accept 60 miles of range in under 5 minutes. It’s a brilliant choice for anyone looking to lease an electric vehicle that’s as practical as it is fun.

Big, boxy and bold – that’s the Kia EV9… and we like it a lot. It’s one of only a few true electric seven-seaters on the market, which means it’s ideal for anyone with a growing family. It looks fantastic, is hugely practical, is loaded with tech and has the range and charging capability to match. The EV9 is super-sustainable, too, with 34kg of different eco-materials used throughout including recycled bottles, bio-plastics and recovered fishing nets.

The Kia Niro is an outstanding family car. This is an electric vehicle that has a lot of storage space – it’s ideal both for quick trips to the nursery and shopping hauls at the DIY store. And with all that luggage space coupled with impressive efficiency and a comfortable drive, it’s also perfect for long trips. The Niro is what modern EV buyers expect; so convenient and efficient that it makes petrol and diesel suddenly seem painfully old school.
From £414.84 Per Month (inc. VAT)
From £345.69 Per Month (exc. VAT)
As the name suggests, the Kia Soul EV is a car with plenty of character. With a distinctive design inside and out it’ll catch the glances of passers-by, but there’s also plenty of substance thanks to its strong range, perky performance and spacious back seats.
